Industry-Wide Information Systems Standardization as Collective Action: The Case of the U.S. Residential Mortgage Industry (2006, background): “…bodies, Farrell's (1995) arguments for weaker intellectual property protection as a means of promoting technology diffusion in the presence of strong network effects, and the work of Bekkers et al. (2002), which shows how strong property rights can shape the structure of IT product marketplaces.”

Competing Through Cooperation: The Organization of Standard Setting in Wireless Telecommunications (2008, background): “Empirical work on cooperative standardization processes includes studies by Weiss and Sirbu (1990), Bekkers et al. (2002), and Rysman and Simcoe (2008), who emphasize the roles of market power and intellectual property rights in determining standard-setting outcomes. Additionally, Fleming and Wagues”
Patent Management in Entrepreneurial SMEs: A Literature Review and an Empirical Study of Innovation Appropriation, Patent Propensity, and Motives (2013, unknown): “Worth noting is moreover that standard-setting motives for patenting have been of increasing importance, especially within the telecommunications industry (Granstrand, 1999; Bekkers et al., 2002).”

On sharks, trolls, and their patent prey—Unrealistic damage awards and firms’ strategies of “being infringed” (2007, background): “…not being found by the infringer, this inadequate legal treatment constitutes rch Pol a t m c a H t t o 4 w i T s 4 c t t I c t p f a w i o fi e a m h i M m m t L r s s i f uct components that inventing around (though ex ante cheap) becomes extremely costly ex post (see Bekkers et al., 2002).”
Challenges of open innovation: the paradox of firm investment in open‐source software (2006, unknown): “While the patents were often the result of basic research, contribution of a patent to the pool allowed firms to have favorable access to all of the IPR of the GSM standard, creating a cost advantage for European pool participants over potential Asian rivals (Bekkers et al., 2002).”

An Empirical Study on the Determinants of Essential Patent Claims in Compatibility Standards (2011, background): “…of standard bodies have shown cases in which market access and firm performance was highly dictated by patent strategies of essential patent owners (Bekkers et al., 2002), it would be unreasonable to suggest such an effect in the current context where formal standard bodies have (F)RAND regimes.”

The Open Innovation Paradox: Knowledge Sharing and Protection in R&D Collaborations (2010, unknown): “exemplified by considering the tension between standardization and IPRs (Bekkers et al., 2002; Shurmer and Lea, 1995), which has important implications for governing and licensing knowledge flows in associated collaborations.”
